favorate band. Every song they have created is nothing short of brilliant. I am
relatively new to the guitar and this will be my first tab. Seeing as i don t play the
piano and i have yet to learn chords fo the guitar- it may be a little rusty and will do
the actual song no jusice.. But- i havent been able to find a tab for this song yet, in
addition to many other of theirs songs, so- if you suck as much as i do, enjoy. :)
thanks. Email me with comments, revisions, whatever.

CHORUS: the low violin in the chorus really carries the tune, so i hope you have a
jewish bass (or violin) player.

After the chorus, guitar 1 plays the verse (the picking one) twice again, the first time
pesky violin does a solo. even a handy jewish bass player can t replace that, but you
substitute your guitar 2 for it if you dont have a 3rd (or, even better, a violin
player). after the first repetition of the verse, during the second, Win Butler does
some distorted stuff on guitar #2, if you re familliar with the song.
Guitar Solo #1 (violin solo): (listen to song for beat count)
"(Sexy howling, moaning vocals)"
